Children's Museum of Phoenix

Location: Phoenix, AZ

Exhibit Highlights: Art Studio allows kids of all ages to explore their creative abilities independently or as part of a group while working on special projects, like building an 11-foot rocket ship. The Desert Delights exhibition explores regional highlights, and the Noodle Forest is sure to delight everyone who enters.

Insider Info: Visitors are likely to notice a lack of signage throughout the museum's exhibitions. That's intentional, as the belief is that children know how to play and explore at a level that's best for them.

Family-Friendly Amenities: The Crave Sandwich Cafe & Catering offers visitors the option of ordering food or bringing in their own lunch or snacks and staking out a table. The entire museum is friendly to breastfeeding mothers, with comfortable seating throughout and the more private alternative of family restrooms. Bottle warmers are available, as is stroller parking on every floor.
